I think this skeleton can be seen from above only, close to the point where this person fell off some high cliff or wall. I dimly remember that there was some gash in a cliff face or wall where the unlucky victim of gravity fell down. I wrote down that I needed a slowfall potion found somewhere around Montague (or Montague's quarters, maybe) to get to the skeleton and obtain some loot there. Or maybe the slowfall potion was needed to leave this place alive. It's been a long time since I replayed this mission (most likely before NewDark came out in 2012 or 2013), and I neither remember details, nor do I know whether I found the skeleton on my own or after reading something about it here on the forums.

Thanks baeuchlein, I´ll check it out next time I play this mission again! :) I´m surprised, you made notes of every special thing to every mission you played?! That´s pretty amazing! :eek:

Well, it started with a few lines for every mission played, just a "this one sucks" or "this one is great". Later on, it evolved quite a lot. The notes for "Embracing the Enemy" are rather small and just cover a few things which I might overlook if I play the mission again. Other missions' notes are sometimes far more verbose. They may even contain screenshots, e.g., if one has to stand at a particular spot, or has to aim a bowshot very accurately.

I can't believe I quit this mission the first time years ago. The Garret's voice actor kills it, in the good sense, and this place feels real, the only thing missing is a vineyard but maybe in the year 2000 the technology wasn't there yet to make it? The whole mission has a Thief lite atmosphere, again in a good sense. Very talented author, it's not often that the level design and the gameplay come together so well in a fan mission.
